Teen says tattoo covering half his face is making it hard to find work

 

For a jailhouse tat, that is not bad. Seen people with worse from tat parlors.

 

OK, everybody, all together now:

"NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!"

 

Just fill the rest in and join the minstrel show.

 

Of course, this part might be problematic for employers, too:

He was locked up in 2015, at 17, for aggravated robbery, after he and a friend pulled a knife on a tourist in Nelson, New Zealand.

Cropp pleaded guilty to a range of charges, including aggravated robbery, escaping custody and assault with a weapon.

Someday soon, if it hasn't happened already, somebody will sue for a job over discrimination based on their tattoos. I don't understand people who, when they're looking for a job, suddenly think their gigantic, ridiculous, intimidating, and/or attention-getting-placed tattoo should no longer matter or have any impact. That was why they got it, and got it as they did, in the first place, right?

What? No, it wasn't?

 

No Shirt, Shitlock.

 

Under which law?

 

Doesn't seem to apply in this case, which isn't even a US incident, but what about cultural/tribal tattoos?
Or if a religion required facial and neck tattooing?

 

As long as the employer would treat an equivalent, non-cultural or religious tattoo wearer the same way, it would be OK to discriminate.

 

Why can't he stencil the rest of if it in?
Worked out well for this guy ...

 

Reasonable argument. I'm not disagreeing with you, just speculating on the path one might pursue.

 

Uh, professional wrestling heel.
The Progressive Lineral needs an arch enemy.
